BACKGROUND: Dexamethasone has an established role in decreasing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV); however, the optimal dexamethasone dose for reducing PONV when it is used as a single or combination prophylactic strategy has not been clearly defined. In this study, we evaluated the use of 4 mg to 5 mg and 8 mg to 10 mg IV doses of dexamethasone to prevent PONV when used as a single drug or as part of a combination preventive therapy.
METHODS: A wide search was performed to identify randomized clinical trials that evaluated systemic dexamethasone as a prophylactic drug to reduce postoperative nausea and/or vomiting. The effects of dexamethasone dose were evaluated by pooling studies into 2 groups: 4 mg to 5 mg and 8 mg to 10 mg. The first group represents the suggested dexamethasone dose to prevent PONV by the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) guidelines, and the second group represents twice the dose range recommended by the guidelines. The SAMBA guidelines were developed in response to studies, which have been performed to examine different dosages of dexamethasone.
RESULTS: Sixty randomized clinical trials with 6696 subjects were included. The 4-mg to 5-mg dose dexamethasone group experienced reduced 24-hour PONV compared with control, odds ratio (OR, 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23-0.41), and number needed to treat (NNT, 3.7; 95% CI, 3.0-4.7). When used together with a second antiemetic, the 4-mg to 5-mg dexamethasone group also experienced reduced 24-hour PONV compared with control (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.35-0.72; NNT, 6.6; 95% CI, 4.3-12.8). The 8-mg to 10-mg dose dexamethasone group experienced decreased 24-hour PONV compared with control (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.20-0.32; NNT, 3.8; 95% CI, 3.0-4.3). Asymmetric funnel plots were observed in the 8-mg to 10-mg dose analysis, suggesting the possibility of publication bias. When used together with a second antiemetic, the 8-mg to 10-mg dose group also experienced reduced incidence of 24-hour PONV (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.22-0.53; NNT, 6.2; 95% CI, 4.5-10). In studies that provided a direct comparison between groups, there was no clinical advantage of the 8-mg to 10-mg dexamethasone dose compared with the 4-mg to 5-mg dose on the incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that a 4-mg to 5-mg dose of dexamethasone seems to have similar clinical effects in the reduction of PONV as the 8-mg to 10-mg dose when dexamethasone was used as a single drug or as a combination therapy. These findings support the current recommendation of the SAMBA guidelines for PONV, which favors the 4-mg to 5-mg dose regimen of systemic dexamethasone.

地塞米松预防术后恶心呕吐:一项更新的临床随机对照试验Meta分析
背景: 地塞米松已经被证实能够降低术后恶心呕吐发生率;然而,其作为单独用药或者联合用药用于预防术后恶心呕吐的最佳剂量仍不明确。在本研究中,我们评估4-5mg和8-10mg地塞米松静脉注射作为单独或者联合用药用于预防术后恶心呕吐的作用。
方法:全面检索有关地塞米松全身应用作为预防用药预防术后恶心和/或呕吐的临床随机试验。按照地塞米松的用量,将研究分为两大组:4-5mg组和8-10mg组。第1组是门诊麻醉协会(SAMBA)推荐用于预防PONV的地塞米松剂量,第2组代表该推荐值两倍的剂量。SAMBA指南是根据既往不同剂量地塞米松的研究而制定的。
结果:共纳入6个随机临床试验,6696个患者。4-5mg地塞米松组与对照组相比可降低术后24小时恶心呕吐发生 (OR, 0.31; 95% 可信区间 [CI], 0.23-0.41)及需要治疗的人数(NNT, 3.7; 95% CI, 3.0-4.7)。与其它止吐药物联合使用时,4-5mg地塞米松同样能够降低术后24小时恶心呕吐发生 (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.35-0.72; NNT, 6.6; 95% CI, 4.3-12.8)。8-10mg地塞米松组与对照组相比可降低术后24小时恶心呕吐发生(OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.20-0.32; NNT, 3.8; 95% CI, 3.0-4.3)。8-10mg组漏斗图呈不对称型,提示可能存在发表偏倚。与其它止吐药物联合使用时,8-10mg地塞米松同样能够降低术后24小时恶心呕吐发生(OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.22-0.53; NNT, 6.2; 95% CI, 4.5-10)。该研究直接比较两组不同剂量地塞米松的作用,结果表明8-10mg组与4-5mg组相比,在降低术后恶心呕吐发生率上没有优势。
结论: 我们的研究结果表明,地塞米松无论是作为单独用药还是与其它止吐药联合应用,4-5mg地塞米松与8-10mg地塞米松具有相同的临床作用。该结论支持SAMBA推荐的地塞米松作为预防术后恶心呕吐的剂量(4-5mg)。 |
